Feminization of Males Warps TV News, Programs | |

RUSH: I want to make something clear. I don't want anybody to misunderstand this. I am not here being critical of women. I am critical of feminism and the feminization of our culture based on precepts of feminism. I am normal, red-blooded as anybody is and not going to be a silly idiot and try to give people the impression I don't like women. It's nothing of the sort. It's just that when we're talking about news, you feminize the whole concept, the production, the reporting of news in order to target a specific audience just proves my point that I've been making all along. News is a packaged product like anything else you'd find on the shelf -- and it is marketed; it is sold; it is packaged just like any other product, and yet these people that do it hide under the umbrella or behind the guise of the people's right to know, going out and finding the most important stories of the day, and they're reporting that to us, and that's not at all what's happening.
They're like any business: they're trying to sell a product. They're trying to get viewers. They're trying to attract enough of them to get high ratings and they're going out and targeting who it is that's watching television, and if more women are watching than men, then you know what they're going to do. They're going to try to come up with news that targets the kind of women that they find out who are watching. Are they making an effort to expand the universe of viewers? Obviously not. They're just targeting who they've already got -- and, by the way, just to show you I'm deadly serious about this, we have just produced, just written a new special report that's available right now to new subscribers of my newsletter, it's called the Limbaugh Letter, and it's called the war on manliness or how to resist the feminization of the American male. We've been working on this for a couple of months now, and it's now one of the freebies we offer with new subscribers. I'm not trying to sell anything here, because I don't have to sell, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not a huckster. But I'm just telling you this has been something, if you've listened regularly to the program, you are well aware my concerns about this. In fact, we've got a guy from Huntsville, Alabama, who works in television in programming. Tracy, glad you called. Big career risk for you here, I guess.
